    The IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) was introduced in 1986 as an essential piece of legislation which allows you to avoid the trauma of declaring bankruptcy. It suits many people in England, Wales and Northern Ireland who have over £12,000 of unsecured debt, provided that they are in regular employment.

    An IVA is a legally binding agreement which protects you against any further action from your creditors. Once you’ve committed to an IVA, you could write off debt in sixty months.

    With an IVA you agree with your creditors to paying only what you can afford in a single payment each month over the period of five years. Your creditors agree to write off your unsecured debt which you’re not able to repay and they will leave you alone.

    Do You Qualify?

    Take a look at our Individual Voluntary Arrangement section, this could be a better alternative to manage your debts. While a Debt Management Plan can sometimes be an option, it is not legally binding and the people you owe money to can later change their minds if they wish, unlike with an IVA.

    Making An IVA Work For You

    It’s up to your Individual Voluntary Arrangement provider to negotiate with people you owe money to and develop a legally binding proposal involving lower affordable monthly payments for you. The Individual Voluntary Arrangement will usually last for five years, after which all outstanding debts will be written off.

    Woman Mrs H Lockley
    Debt: £44,000
    Solution: IVA
    Since 2000, my husband and I used credit for various reasons such as home improvements and general living costs. Over the years our debt continued to build up. Eventually we owed £44,000 and keeping up with the payments was getting harder and harder.

    IVA Help and Advice

    When your unsecured debts become significant and you can’t afford to make the repayments bankruptcy can become a real possibility, an IVA or Individual Voluntary Arrangement is often a really good alternative. IVAs were introduced in the 1980′s as a way of creating a binding contract between individuals and people you owe money to, to pay smaller manageable repayments over a period of time, normally 5 years. The IVA will also prevent you from incurring further interest, and will stop the repayment chasing letters and phone calls. In addition your home will be protected as long as the terms of the IVA were being adhered to.

    To find out whether an IVA is the most appropriate debt solutions for you, you will require an assessment of your current financial position. An Insolvency Practitioner will need to present your IVA proposal to the people you owe money to, and it will need to be agreed by the majority of people you owe money to. If your IVA is not agreed then another debt solution relevant to your situation will need to be considered.

    Debt Free Direct is the overall number one provider of IVAs in the UK. A fact that we are proud of. However, we are committed to offering consumers our best advice, and if a Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) is not the most appropriate debt solution, we will recommend a more suitable one.
